Coaching Steps LLC Hosts Contest for National Stepfamily Day

Herndon, VA, August 10, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Claudette Chenevert, Stepfamily Relationship Foundation Coach and founder of Coaching Steps LLC, has announced a special contest in honor of National Stepfamily Day. Stepfamily members are asked to submit an example of an activity that draws their family closer together. All participants will receive a free article on creating rituals and special moments, and their submissions may also be published in the Coaching Steps newsletter. The person who first submits the most creative inspirational idea will get a $50.00 gift card to a restaurant in the United States. The contest ends on National Stepfamily Day, September 16, 2009.

Stepfamilies function on a different paradigm than traditional families. Understanding their make-up is key to providing the help and resources stepfamilies are looking for today. Chenevert understands stepfamilies because she has been there. She has the tools to help stepfamilies navigate this untraditional path and create a phenomenal new life as a stepfamily.

Said Chenevert, “National Stepfamily Day is a day to honor and recognize all stepfamilies for the good that they do. Too many times, we emphasize what is not working in a family. Let's take this time to celebrate all that is right within our stepfamilies.”
